Jhandewalan Temple
Delhi
The Jhandewalan Mandir, a Delhi Hindu temple dedicated to Vaishno Devi, was founded in the 19th century by Badri Bhagat, named for a large flag hoisted when a deity was discovered. Formerly in Ram Bagh, it hosted events like the Pavan Pariksha Mela, which ended after Partition. Now surrounded by urban development, it remains a major religious center, especially during Navratras.
